bbPress.org

I’ve tried a number of user management plugins to see if there is any way I can assign moderators and administrators to individual forums. So far I have had no luck finding a combination that works.

What is the best way to assign user group permissions that work with the bbpress plugin?

*once I have members assigned as moderators etc of each forum, I would then like to display their user info on the sidebar of each forum.

I mention that, because I would need to know what function to call which will pull those mods/admins of each forum etc…

Scenario:

I am building my own custom bbpress theme. I started by moving all of the theme files into my current theme and also adding in the needed functions from the functions.php file into my current theme.

problems:

I have copied the /theme/bbpress/ folder into my current theme folder.

It seems that any modifications I make to files within MYTHEME/bbpress/ are not being picked up by bbpress. If I go into the actual plugin folder and modify the files in the theme/bbpress/ folder there, then the changes occur.

–requested solution

Please change the loading structure so that bbpress first checks the active theme for all needed bbpress theme files including those in the bbpress folder. If none are found then default back to the plugin theme directory.

It would almost be like treating the currently active theme as a child theme of bbpress. This would make modifications much easier to maintain, while still being able to safely update bbpress.

Has anyone thought about writing a Moderation Queue plugin? How difficult is this to do (I don’t know anything about coding)? I searched the plugins, so if I missed something, please LMK. Thanks.

I have activated the Forum Last Poster plugin in order to add the freshness column to the Forums table. Can anyone help me to make the following modifications?

– If the forum is empty (or if it is a category), I would like it not to show anything.

– Rather than show the freshness, I would like it to show the actual time/date.

– I would, of course, like it to show the correct time/date. I say this because I modified the Latest Discussions code to show the exact date, and the time zone is off by 4 hours. (I imagine the answer might be to make some modifications to the options-general.php file in bb-admin, but none seem to be working for me.)

Here below is my code as currently written (which shows the last poster and the freshness together):

<td class=”num”>by “><?php forum_last_poster(); ?>
on <?php forum_time(); ?></br></td>

I have also activated both the My Views and bb Topic Views plugins in trying to get a “Views” column in my Forums table.

I then inserted: <th><?php _e(‘Views’); ?></th> into the front-page.php file to add the column.

Finally, I added: <td class=”num”><?php echo $forum->views; ?></td> in the appropriate place in order to count the views.

But the View column in the table is blank. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

This is an issue I’ve seen several times with my heavily customized production site, and I have assumed it was related to my custom work. I decided to start a fresh install and see about re-integrating with the current trunk, and “do it right” this time.

However, with a brand new bbP install, running the included 2010 theme, logged in users with the “subscriber” role, still can’t create topics at all. In fact nobody but admin can.

Does anyone know what is causing this? Users just get the

Sorry!

You cannot create new topics at this time.

error on any forum page.

Thanks!

I began posting here:

Still don’t know what’s going on, but I’m wondering if it’s related to running one copy of WP underneath another. My setup is:

webroot/ (production site is here with bbP active and working)

webroot/new/ (test site is here where bbP does not want to work)

‘new’ is just that – brand new 3.1.2 WP install with vanilla everything. But bbP simply will not work within it no matter what I try. If I have permalinks on default, any visit to domain.com/new/forums/ redirects me to domain.com/forums/ and if I set permalinks to /%postnam3%/ then I just get a 404 error with any request for /new/forums/.

Don’t know what else to try. In the other thread, Ryan also found the problem with permalinks, but not the other problem. This is why I’m wondering if it’s related to having 2 installs, one below the other.

Can anyone confirm/deny that this kind of setup doesn’t work?

Thanks!

Clicking on Admin gets me that white error page with this text:

Warning: require_once(../wp-load.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sidserver/graciegail.com/forum/bb-config.php on line 65

In my wordpress website I have the mainpage(index) and several pages, all of which have the content on the left, a middle column that contains advertisements, and a right column which contains widgets.

Is it possible to install a fully integrated bbpress forum that is a page to the wordpress website? Stated differently, can I put all of the contents of the forum in the left hand column, and keep the middle column of ads and the right column of widgets?

I am using weebly drag and drop. For my forum, I am using the bbPress. When the user logs out it goes to a “cannot find” page. I want it to re-route to our home page. How do I set it up to do this?

It’s been asked and answered before… but like one year ago. I need to completely disable RSS feeds in my private forums. Otherwise, entering my forum’s URL in Google Reader reveals everything! So I edited rss2.php and left everthing but a few lines. I also tried removing the reference to the rss in topic.php… to no avail.

The Private Forums plugin does not disable rss… something that would make sense. Google Reader keeps finding my posts. What else could I try?
